Step-by-Step Instructions for Hungarian Mushroom Soup
- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add one finely chopped large onion, sautéing until it’s translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Then, add 1 pound of thinly sliced mushrooms and stir frequently until the mushrooms are golden and caramelized, which should take another 5 minutes.
 - Pour in 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth into the pot, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sweet Hungarian paprika, and 2 teaspoons of dried dill weed. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, covering the pot for about 15 minutes.
 - In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of whole milk and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth; gradually stir this mixture into the simmering soup. Continue to cook for another 15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally until the soup thickens.
 - Lower the heat and carefully stir in ½ cup of sour cream, followed by 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
 - Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with additional parsley for a pop of color. Pair it with crusty bread for a comforting meal.

Notes
For best results, use a mix of mushrooms and avoid boiling the soup after adding sour cream to keep it creamy and smooth.
